Water shortages are worsening in Iran, with a significant drop in water levels reported. The head of Tehran’s Regional Water Company announced a 43% decrease in water levels compared to last year. The Amir Kabir Dam is now at only 8% of its capacity, highlighting the severity of the crisis.
In response to the Iran-Israel conflict, India launched Operation Sindhu to evacuate its citizens, primarily students, from Iran. A chartered Mahan Air flight will transport approximately 1,000 Indian students from Iran to Delhi tonight, following the successful evacuation of 110 students via Armenia. The Iranian government has opened its airspace to facilitate this evacuation, and India expresses gratitude for Iran and Armenia’s cooperation. The Indian embassy in Tehran continues to assist Indian nationals in relocating to safer areas within Iran and coordinating their departures.
